Nice cycleway, well used, but not overcrowded and away from traffic noise

Steep Steps down to the river and for view of the aqueduct are on the Bradford on Avon side.

From Bath to here on a road bike with 25mm is doable but take it easy, further on, its a little rougher and 35mm would be better. here is a good stop of lunch or a drink

In 2016, Bath Spa University purchased the former Herman Miller factory in Locksbrook, a modern riverside listed building designed by Nicholas Grimshaw and Farrell & Grimshaw and built in 1976, to become the new home of the Bath School of Art and Design. The building used a flexible movable panel design and won several awards, including the Financial Times Industrial Architecture Award for 1977 and the RIBA South West Award in 1978. Detailed redevelopment plans are being drawn for it to become the new home of the Bath School of Art and Design

Bitton Station part of the Heritage Avon railway Valley line. well worth a stop

The old railway, which still has some use, widens at this point. Several trains and carriages can be seen parked up. It is part of the Bristol & Bath railway line

Well worth a visit if you’re in Bath

Monkton Combe is a beautiful and charming village just south of Bath. It has a stunning Norman Church, St Michael’s Church, the obligatory public house, and an old-fashioned ‘village lockup,’ where they used to detain the less sober of the village inhabitants. What is most interesting is that the churchyard contains the grave of Harry Patch, the last surviving British soldier who fought in the First World War. It is well worth having a brief stop here.

A uniform, crescent-shaped front, many individual houses. Pure symmetry.

The tunnel lights were designed so you can see while not disturbing the bats. People using bright lights risk disturbing the bats and blinding other users. While you may feel using lights improves your ability to see and be seen they distract other users making it more difficult to see walkers, dogs etc.

The television series "Treasures of the World - Heritage of Humanity" shows the culture-loving viewer world heritage sites on every continent in quarter-hour segments (in German). The following text is used as an introduction on the website of the film documentary about the world cultural heritage site 'BATH': "In the middle of a gently rolling park landscape in the south of England lies the spa town of Bath. Bath became fashionable after a visit by Queen Anne, who stayed here in 1702 and thereby triggered a renaissance of the rather run-down spa town. The Pump Room was built directly above the old Roman bath. The hot mineral water was drunk here in the early hours of the morning to the sound of classical music." The film can be found in the ARD media library at the following link: https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/schaetze-der-welt/bath-grossbritannien-folge-15/3sat/Y3JpZDovL3N3ci5kZS83MjQ2MDAy

An excellent section of bike path just off the Bath to Bristol. It is laid with tarmac and goes past the old colliery. Note that towards the end at the woods it can get quite muddy. This is especially so in Winter and especially if you take the fork on to the Dramway towards Westerleigh.

The tunnel lighting was upgraded in late 2023 and you can now easily see other riders, runners or pedestrians, so you do NOT need dazzling front lights any more. In the interests of safety and to avoid accidents PLEASE dim or dip your light when in the tunnel!

New lights in the tunnels as of 2023! Much better lit now in both tunnels.

Alternative route vs cycle path (flatter) down below. This way is shorter but far hillier. I wouldn't recommend riding on this road during commuting hours but otherwise it's surprisingly quiet. Views are fantastic on the way into Bath.

Beautiful old Aqueduct, worth a stop to look over the edge

Very helpful and welcoming staff, happy for us to park our muddy bike packing bikes inside.

Great view and nice contact with the boat people.

I prefer this as a descent even though it's dark through the woods. I nearly crashed into a rider in the middle of the road even with markings, so please don't think this is an empty road for climbing, it's busier than most of the other climbs around here. The surface is better than Sands Hill, Dodington and Cock lane which tend to be my preferred climbs into the Wolds.

Of the five or six climbs that take you over the top of the cotswolds from this side, I think this is the easiest. A combination of convenience from Bristol, quietness and the lack of gradients over 10% make it the most accessible for sure. The B road this joins onto is far busier but is probably an easier climb overall.
